Key Hiong vs. Ho Choong Tuck!

Two famous dim sum places. Two dim sum breakfasts two days in a row. Who will be the winner?

Contestant no.1 - Ho Choong Tuck

The spread

The lor mai kai was tasty!

Andrew sez "Not bad not bad at all!"

Will Ho Choong Tuck triumph?

Contestant no.2 - Key Hiong

The spread

The moist interior of the wu kok

Tempted?

So is the dim sum at Key Hiong worth crashing into a dustbin for?

Ho Choong Tuck:

- Plenty of varieties. Pretty good taste wise.
- Passable har kau (prawn dumpling) but nothing to shout about.
- RM2.60 per plate but I'm guessing that some types of dim sum are more expensive.

Key Hiong:

- Variety wise they probably have slightly more than Ho Choong Tuck. Taste is pretty good too.
- Har kau is very poor.
- RM2.80 per plate regardless of dim sum type.

So who is the winner? I would say it's pretty much a draw in terms of taste. Key Hiong loses out in terms of their har kau but then their paus are really good. I didn't get the chance to try out the paus at Ho Choong Tuck though.

Still haven't found a place that serves great har kau (those classy Chinese restaurants don't count). The search continues...

Ho Choong Tuck was on Saturday morning after a run with Andrew. And it's early morning...you probably belum bangun! =P

As for Key Hiong I was there on a whim after going to RHB nearby. =P

The famous har gao is at paramount garden key way dimsum. Another branch of key way dimsum at damansara perdana (just behind the public mutual fund).
